chakra: - Sanskrit term denoting one of seven major energy centers situated along the spine, plus scores of minor centers throughout the body. These correspond roughly to the nerve junctions ('little brains') where nerves from every part of the body join the spinal cord. Many Indian and Chinese modalities, especially acupuncture, focus on re-establishing the free flow of energy throughout the chakras.

The problem, as I see it, is that snow is not conducive to the spiritual life. Consider that all the great world religions were born in warm climates. Warmth gave us Jesus and Mohammed. Snow gave us John Calvin and Joseph Smith. And note the flourishing of Tibetan Buddhism since the lamas were kicked out of Tibet.

Apparently it will end today! I just wish forecasters would quit predicting snow for Thursdays...Wednesday is my regular Harris Teeter (as opposed to my Whole Foods)shopping day. It was scary there yesterday...
